BS 5041-1:1987

Foreword This revision of BS 5041-1 has been prepared under the direction of the Fire Standards Committee and supersedes BS 5041-1:1975, which is withdrawn. It specifies requirements for valves suitable for use on wet risers of either high or low pressure installations. BS 5041-1:1975 was restricted to copper alloy globe valves but in this revision requirements for diaphragm valves are included. The subjects of the other Parts in the BS 5041 series of general specifications for fire hydrant systems equipment are as follows. — Part 2: Landing valves for dry risers; — Part 3: Inlet breechings for dry riser inlets; — Part 4: Boxes for landing valves for dry risers; — Part 5: Boxes for foam inlets and dry riser inlets. These Parts give detailed requirements for most of the other special items required for wet and dry risers described in BS 5306-1. In this standard metric values are given in SI units; for further information reference should be made to BS 3763. Some nominal bores and thread sizes are given in inches to accord with the standards referred to. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.


Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

Section 1. General 1 Scope This Part of BS 5041 specifies requirements for copper alloy globe valves generally complying with BS 5154 and diaphragm valves generally complying with BS 5156, both suitable for installation as landing valves on wet risers. The valves have screwed or flanged inlets and also delivery hose connections complying with BS 336. This standard covers valves of nominal pressure (PN) designations 15 bar and 20 bar and nominal inlet sizes DN 40 to DN 65 for flanged ends and 1½ and 2½ for screwed ends. NOTE 1 Unless otherwise stated all pressures are gauge pressures expressed in bar: 1 bar = 105 N/m2 = 100 kPa. NOTE 2 Information which the purchaser is recommended to supply to the manufacturer is given in Appendix B and does not form part of the specification. NOTE 3 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

2 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS 5041, the following definitions apply.


2.1 wet riser (wet rising main) a vertical pipe installed in a building for fire fighting purposes, permanently charged with water from a pressurized supply, and fitted with valves and outlet connections at specified points 2.2 landing valve an assembly comprising a valve and outlet connection from a wet or dry riser

3 Valve types Valves, whether globe or diaphragm, shall be of the horizontal, bib-nosed, oblique or right-angle type, the general forms being illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1 — Valve types

4 Classification by pressure rating 4.1 General Valves shall be classified as low pressure or high pressure according to the nominal inlet working pressure for which they are suitable. 4.2 Low pressure valves Low pressure valves shall be suitable for use at nominal inlet pressures up to 15 bar. 4.3 High pressure valves High pressure valves shall be suitable for use at nominal inlet pressures up to 20 bar.

5 Nominal inlet sizes

7 Marking

5.1 Flanged end valves

7.1 General

The nominal inlet size (DN) shall be 40, 50 or 65.

Each valve shall be marked with the following: a) the letters “LP” (for low pressure valves) or “HP” (for high pressure valves) in a position which will be visible after the valve has been installed; b) the nominal size; c) the manufacturer’s name or trademark; d) the number of this standard, i.e. BS 5041/11).

5.2 Screwed end valves The nominal inlet size (DN) shall be 1½, 2 or 2½.

6 Temperature rating Both low pressure and high pressure valves shall be suitable for continuous use at their nominal pressure rating throughout the temperature range from 0 °C to 38 °C.

7.2 Diaphragm valves


The diaphragm shall be marked “FIRE HYDRANT”, “FIRE HYD” or with the manufacturer’s grade reference for the particular material. The marking shall be visible on the assembled valve.

1) Marking BS 5041/1 on or in relation to a product is a claim by the manufacturer that the product has been manufactured to the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of such a claim is therefore solely the manufacturer’s responsibility. Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification should be addressed to the appropriate certification body.

Appendix A Test methods NOTE Where the tests in A.1, A.3 and A.4 are carried out for type approval purposes, it may be sufficient to carry out each appropriate test once only. WARNING NOTE. Where hydrostatic pressure testing is involved, safety precautions in accordance with the relevant parts of the Health and Safety Executive Guidance Note “General Series/4” should be taken.


A.1 Pressure retention test (see clauses 19 and 25) A.1.1 Body test Blank off the outlet of the valve. Render any pressure relief valve inoperative. With the valve in the open or partly open position, connect the inlet to a hydraulic pressure test rig. Vent any trapped air. Subject the valve body to the appropriate hydrostatic test pressure for the appropriate test duration in accordance with Table 3. Apply the test pressure without significant hydraulic shock. Use no external restraint on the valve body. NOTE The test may be carried out before the connector is fitted to valves with screwed-on connectors. When testing high pressure valves with integral connectors, or with screwed-on connectors fitted, additional means of retaining the outlet blanking piece may be used to prevent distortion of the release mechanism. When testing low pressure valves with the connector fitted additional means may not be used to retain the outlet blank: only the release mechanism may be used.

A.2 Flow and pressure drop test (low pressure valves only) (see 22.1) A.2.1 Apparatus. A test rig of pipework of a size appropriate for the landing valve under test and having the following features shall be used: a) pressure measuring devices, accurate to ± 0.05 bar, fitted close to the inlet and outlet of the valve; b) two control valves fitted upstream and downstream of the pressure measuring devices; c) a means of supplying water at both a suitable pressure and 8.5 L/s; d) a means of measuring the water flow rate through the rig, accurate to ± 0.5 L/s. A.2.2 Procedure Mount the landing valve in the test rig fully opened. With water flowing through the rig adjust the control valves to give a flow rate of 8.5 L/s and an inlet pressure at the landing valve of 4.7 bar. If necessary, successively adjust the two control valves: opening the upstream valve will increase pressure and flow while opening the downstream valve will decrease pressure and increase flow. Measure and record the outlet pressure. A.3 Flow and pressure control (high pressure valves only) (see 22.2) A.3.1 Apparatus. A test rig in accordance with A.2.1 shall be used except that the water supply shall be at 20 bar and 8.5 L/s. A.3.2 Procedure Carry out the test as follows. a) Mount the landing valve in the test rig fully opened. b) With water flowing through the rig and at an inlet pressure of approximately 7.5 bar, adjust the control valves to give a flow rate of 8.5 ± 0.5 L/s. Measure and record the water flow rate and inlet and outlet pressures. c) Open the upstream control valve to increase the inlet pressure to approximately 12.5 bar. Do not adjust the downstream control valve unless the outlet pressure is outside the limits of 4.5 ± 0.5 bar AND the flow rate is outside the limits 8.5 ± 0.5 L/s. In that case adjust only the downstream valve and by small increments only until the flow rate of pressure falls within the limits. Measure and record the flow rate and pressures. d) Repeat c) at inlet pressures of approximately 17.5 bar and 20 –+00.1 bar.

BS 5041-1:1987

e) Close the upstream control valve to give an inlet pressure of approximately 15 bar. Adjust the downstream control valve only if necessary, as above. Measure and record the flow rate and inlet pressures. f) Repeat e) at an inlet pressure of 10 bar and at as low an inlet pressure as is possible without the outlet pressure dropping below 4.0 bar. A.4 Pressure relief tests (high pressure valves only) (see clauses 23 and 26) A.4.1 Apparatus. Apparatus in accordance with A.2.1 with the means of measuring flow upstream from the landing valve shall be used. Since valves with a pressure regulating device do not release water to relieve the pressure, a means of relieving excessive inlet pressure should be fitted when testing this type. For testing high pressure valves fitted with a pressure relief valve, provision shall be made for disposal of the water which will be released through the relief valve. A.4.2 Procedure for verification of compliance with 23.1 Mount the landing valve in the test rig fully opened. With water flowing through the rig, adjust the control valves to give a flow rate of 8.5 L/s at an inlet pressure of 20 bar. Close the downstream control valve slowly. Observe and record whether the outlet pressure remains below 7 bar until it is fully closed. NOTE It may be necessary to adjust the upstream control valve to control any increase in the inlet pressure.

A.5.1.2 Suitable pipework for connection to the valve inlet, to provide a water supply at a pressure equal to the nominal inlet pressure of 15 bar (low pressure valves) or 20 bar (high pressure valves) and for connection to the outlet to dispose of water passing through the valve. This pipework shall be self-draining. A.5.2 Procedure Remove any outlet hose connection and blank cap. Fill the valve with water and close it. Adjust the water pressure to the value equal to the nominal inlet pressure of the valve under test. Heat the oven to 540 ± 10 °C, place the valve in the oven and maintain at this temperature for 20 min. Measure the rate of any water flow from the valve at the end of this time.

Appendix B Recommendations for the information to be supplied by the purchaser to the manufacturer It is recommended that the purchaser provide the following information with his or her order: a) the valve type (see clause 3); b) whether a high pressure or low pressure valve is required (see clause 4); c) the nominal size (see clause 5); d) whether a screwed or flanged valve inlet is required (see clause 10); e) if a flanged inlet is required, whether the flange is to be supplied undrilled (see 10.2.2); f) whether a strap and padlock is required (see clause 20).

Repeat the test at inlet pressures of 10 bar and 15 bar. A.4.3 Procedure for verification of compliance with 23.2 (pressure relief types only) Mount the landing valve in the test rig fully opened. With water flowing through the valve, adjust the control valves to give a water flow rate of 8.6 L/s, or the maximum possible if this rate cannot be attained, at an inlet pressure of 5 bar. Slowly close the downstream control valve. Observe and record the outlet pressure at which the pressure relief valve opens. A.5 High temperature resistance test (diaphragm valves only) (see clause 24) A.5.1 Apparatus A.5.1.1 Oven or furnace capable of maintaining an air temperature of 540 ± 10 °C during the test.
